Delilah

Hmmm.. The Stones had Brown Sugar which according to legend was originally called Brown Pussy....... Honky Tonk Kitty?

Like the rest of the songs on Innuendo. I LIKE Delilah too. Innuendo is my favourite Queen album and the only album where I think all songs rank between good and excellent. Not even one average song. I love Freddie's vocals and the rhythm; and guitar solo is very beautiful in my opinion. I don't care much about the words. I just love the song. Finally, I like the "I love your kisses" ending too.

Are Queen the only major rock band to write 2 songs about pet cats (Delilah & All Dead All Dead)?
This needs to be cleared up asap.

I dont know about that, but remember, Michael Jackson had a song about his pet rat..........lol

Three... You forgot Bijou, Freddie's favourite cat.

That's two songs about two different cats on Innuendo.

(Disclaimer: I like Delilah. Not their best number, but it works for me.)

Delilah seems to comes up a lot as one of the worst queen songs on this site. While not the best song. the opening two lines alone are better than some entire queen songs e.g. the hitman, some tracks on a kind of magic etc.

Opening two lines?

Delilah

I'm in agreement with Roger regarding this only 'should be deleted' track from the LP.

Still, I like it!

I agree, they should have changed the music and the lyrics....

And maybe the title also. That title isn't the better for this kind of music.

Ha.........yeah, just change the music, lyrics, and the title, thats all the song needs! lol......uh, I think at that point it might be a totally different song....or was that the point all along?

Anyway, like I said in another topic, at least Delilah has some nice guitar work in it (the Red Special meowing, gotta love it!)

I pity the people who don't like Delilah.

I think the only problem with the Delilah on Innuendo is the noisy following song; The Hitman - I always try to run to my stereo and skip to Bijou at the end of Delilah (which I like).

Fuck this. I love Delilah!

I feel a bit biased as I am a cat person ( love my doggies as well tho ) .....I love Delilah....I can so,relate to this song and it makes me smile....love , love, love the meows :-)

For me,Delilah is a sweet and fun song.It certainly is not the best song but it is so emotional.I mostly like these verses:"You take over my house and home
You even try to answer my telephone".:)

Delilah, obviously not brilliant but far from the worst Queen song. I could list at least 10 songs i like less, but I'm not gonna bother too list them.
